Also how I feel about Klobuchar in Minnesota. I desperately want anyone else in the DFL to run for governor, but given the choice of Klobuchar vs a Republican, of course I'll choose Klobuchar.

How strong is my impulse to not tell on my neighbors is, as we descend deeper into a fascist police state? I just passed a guy eating a snack cake in a grocery store aisle. I just kept walking, didn't alert authorities, didn't negotiate with Tom Homan at all.

As Minnesota's senior senator runs to replace Tim Walz as governor, her votes and positions on Trump, ICE, and labor should be disqualifying to progressive voters.

Everyone here has had to decide what they will and won’t do. Will you take someone in your house? Will you bring them groceries? Will you patrol streets with a whistle? Will you do some other kind of work, of which there are many. And how many of these types.
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

In the Skyway 20 minutes after an ice abduction, mayor Frey walks through the government center. A lady yells at him "what are you doing to stop this? Fuck you." He responds, "is that helpful?" With a smirk on his face.

Amy Klobuchar hates small businesses, pass it on
Minnesota is currently under an economic blockade. So @amyklobuchar.com what are you gonna do? How many businesses are we going to lose without a bailout?

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

This is exactly why I do not want Klobuchar to be governor. The MNGOP shenanigans are pretty awful, and Klobuchar has proven time and time again she is all too happy to reach across the aisle and side with conservatives, even when she doesn't have too.
Or, I would wager that politics has to be exhausting now. Just reading about MNGOP shenanigans makes me tired, I can't fathom working with them.

So Ellison stays at AG. Simon stays at SecState. Important roles where effective people do their job with minimal 🐂💩, even though they'd make great govs.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

To a large extent, a UBI is just welfare but done better. A huge hampering of things like Food Stamps and other programs is how many restrictions they have and the beauracracy to manage those restrictions. With a UBI, most of that is gone. Plus, people generally know what they need, only
I continue to believe that this data point is among the strongest arguments for universal basic income. We ALL deserve our slice of that productivity growth. This includes all unpaid workers. The only real way of distributing what amounts to a GDP dividend is UBI. Also the only way to do retroactive

I think this is a great explainer for why our leaders have acted the way they have. Look at the incentives they have, Walz isn't working for Minneapolis, he's working to make Minneapolis not have an uprising. The incentives for those at the top are for them to NOT have fundamental change.
I believe Walz, Frey, Witt, O'Hara genuinely want the ICE surge out of MN and Minneapolis. Some of them genuinely might want all of ICE out for good. At the same time, the ICE surge is not an existential threat to their jobs/careers. The appearance of disorder in the streets is. An uprising is.

Counter: freedom roundabouts
European roundabouts: scary, evil, done by the bad government
Freedom roundabouts: american, cool, made by some random guys in your neighborhood to keep Masked gangs from driving like maniacs in the street.
look this is just a whole branding problem, what if we just called them roundabouts?

filter blockades: scary, bad, confusing, american
roundabouts: less threatening, already exist in places here, vaguely british
My experience with the filter blockades is that they actually improve safety and keep traffic flowing at a safe speed.

Even the Cato Institute says that immigration is good for the U.S.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Ratio him. Abolish ice, anything else is unacceptable.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.
